We started playing FFXI at the launch on the PS2 on Gilgamesh and a few friends were already playing the PC version. A group a friends that had previously played several other games together looked forward to trying a new game. We had know idea it would lead us to playing for 6 years. During the later years when everyone was level 75 and most had multiple level 75 characters we all talked about what it was like when we first started. The anticipation of the release date of FFXIV gives us that feeling we used to have. Exploring new worlds and doing Missions & Quests with new and old friends. Learning how to play a job and the excitement of leveling your character for the first time.

We do miss the times before elitest and wanna be know it alls, while looking forward to helping others and working together. This Linkshell was usually a main LS to most members but we did not specialize in any of the High Level components of FFXI. We left that to the other LS's that freed us up to conentrate on Leveling, Missions, Quests, Farming, & of course Crafting.

We have created this new site before the release and are looking for a few good men & women to become "sack holders" and help with the everyday tasks of running a good LS. On launch day there will be a lot to do to get everyone together and we need help doing it, if it is going to be anything like FFXI. Obviously we prefer new members have experience playing FFXI but that is not a requirement. If you are excited about playing and wanting & learn with old friends or new please join us!

Well i wasn't planning on getting into a LS pre-launch this time around. I did for XI but it just didn't work out. by the time everyone was in game and our leader finally got enough cash together to get a pearl and so on, everyone had moved on. granted i kept those ingame friends throughout my entire XI career but the Crimson Knight of Vana'diel (CKofVD) never became reality... a couple of us tried once to reunite everyone, but it didnt go anywhere.

but the main reason i think it didn't work out was because many of the members pre-launch either decided not to play or only played for a few levels then quit. so in the end, only a fraction of us actually stayed and played XI for the long haul.

but nonetheless, the few of us who did actually stay and play xi were always good friends even though we weren't in the same linkshells.

so to get to the point (lol) i've been rethinking joining a LS so i would be interested in getting to know you guys. your forums arnt up yet so... whats this next step here?

I had a very similar story when we started at launch there was 30 of us but then a few quit but we all made a lot of friend those first few months that we played with for many years. The forum is up I was just adding a Mod for a user gallery. I just put it up today so please be patient while we get some people sign up.

I really need some help with populating the forums and any FAQ's or suggesitons on what we can do to get started right away when it launches. Look forward to playing with you!
